Priscilla BOWEN

I just found a report card from Park School in Buffalo. I got an 'A' in art, mostly because Priscilla saw me as an individual and let me do my thing. She said the 'A' grade was good as long as I visited her "once in awhile". Amazing, wonderful person who made a huge impact on a little life. That was 38 years ago. I still think of her.

Priscilla and I went to school together at Buffalo State in the late 50s where we both studied Art. We shared many times in a studio together as well as many joyous arguments about art and things like the meaning of life. We visited one afternoon a few years back and she was every bit as sharp and quick and intelligent as she was all those years ago. She was a good person who served her world well as an artist gadfly and loving person. She was special indeed.

Nicole and Chad -

I knew your parents many years ago as they lived upstairs from us. They were such wonderful people and a delight to visit with whenever we passed by. They even used to come to our parties:) I haven't seen her in a couple years but think of her whenever I drive past the old apartment. Thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I had the honor and pleasure of working with Priscilla. She was such sweet, intelligent, and talented woman. I know she will be greatly missed. So sorry for your loss. Her memory will help you get through this sad time, she would want you to smile again soon. Sincerely, Mary Keste

My heart goes out to the entire family. She and Uncle Merrill are together again. I will kept everyone in my prayers.

A huge loss to Buffalo - not only in the art community but also the environmental community and most likely many more communities that I didn't know about.
Priscilla was one of the friendliest, most open, kindest and happiest persons I have ever met. She will be sadly missed.

I felt such shock and grief when I heard of Priscilla's passing. We worked together at New Buffalo Graphics when I was a college student. Despite our age difference we became great friends. Priscilla and Merrill both welcomed me, and my other student colleagues, into their home as if we were part of their family. Priscilla was like a mother, a sister, a best friend and a teacher to me. I have not seen her in several years, since I left Buffalo, but I think of her often with fond memories....

Priscilla was such a Glorious force in the art community. She encouraged each and every artist she knew with her most wonderfully kind thoughts and words about their talents. I shall forever miss her warm hugs, smiles and deliriously intense masterpieces she creates. LYWEIM, XO, jjh
